One of the read-worthy books which immediately came to mind is Neverness [1] by David Zindell. It is actually the 'prequel' to a series ('A requiem for Homo Sapiens' [2]) which I have yet to read, but it stands by itself as far as I'm concerned.
If you like SF, mathematics and deep ideas, this might be a book for you.

- aardvark179 12y agoNeverness is not a prequel since it was written before A Requiem For Homo Sapiens. That sort of sloppy thinking would get you killed as a pilot. :-) Also, autocorrect really doesn't want to let me type Neverness.
- Yetanfou 12y agoPrequel in the sense of being named 'A Requiem for Homo Sapiens 0'. I think I'll find my way through the manifold yet...
- dasmoth 12y agoThat's definitely retroactive, my old copy says no such thing. Neverness is a fabulous book though. RfHS also worthwhile, but does sprawl a bit for my taste.
